What does it say about a regime that wants a population that is less educated, less informed, less free to say what they think, more riven by fear and insecurity? It tells me it’s a regime that cannot count on the peoples’ trust and will not last.

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

Cuts to Medicaid will affect all of us in rural communities — even if you’re not on Medicaid. It helps keep hospitals open. Let me explain.

As Trump's poll numbers tank and the economy dips Executive Orders are going to get more and more feral. You're going to have like an EO declaring Jim Acosta outlaw, another ordering civil servants to declare that American is great again.

One of the appalling things that will stick with me? The Republicans’ laughter, “showcasing their cruelty and hostility toward people who are different than them. They are now in power, free to revel in their bigotry, free to engage in easy humiliation and hate.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

It's remarkable how many journalists don't know what an executive order is. English is not the official language of the US govt any more than it was a week ago. An EO is no more than the President's directive to exec branch officials about what his policies and what he directs them to do.

Haven’t posted about #ThePitt as much because I saw through Ep. 10 ahead of launch, but this week’s episode is just sensational. Perhaps the most heart-wrenching hour of TV I’ve watched (so far) this year. But I’m telling you: You guys are not ready for what’s still to come. It only gets better.

Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements. They are long standing insurance plans we've paid into all our working lives. We don't need some billionaire from South Africa taking away what's ours. We need him and other billionaires to pay in a whole lot more from what our labor gifts them.

I find the doomers in my replies yelling “there won’t be future elections!!” exhausting - (1) don’t give them credit for something they haven’t done & (2) there is no mechanism for cancelling elections! Our elections aren’t run by the fed govt; they’re run by states, counties & municipalities.
